TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1485: Chapter 578 Intense Battle_2 Chapter 1485: Chapter 578 Intense Battle_2 Facing the confluence of two large armies, the enemy could gather more troops and form a force far surpassing the Qing Immortal Sect at one battlefield, aiming for a direct breakthrough.

The Qing Immortal Sect faced this force without any possibility of resistance.

And without the ability to hinder them, the outcome of this great war was also directly determined.

Therefore, this situation absolutely could not occur.

The Tianmen River area could not suffer any loss.

Zhang Xiuzhu had to block Taiping Dao and prevent them from converging with the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.

For this, even if the entire central defense line was lost, it was a sacrifice worth making.

If the three nations of the central region were lost, at the rear, Qing Immortal Sect still had more territories and could form more defensive lines at any time.

But if Tianmen River was lost, then all was lost.

Which mattered more was very clear in Zhang Xiuzhu’s heart.

Thus, when Lu Yuan’s strategy was made public, Qing Guanzi and the two avatars of Yidancheng, leading a group of distressed and apprehensive subordinate cultivators, attacked the central battlefield.

The Qing Immortal Sect also immediately mobilized heavy troops, with the Commander himself reaching the front lines in the central region to start a direct confrontation.

Even Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, upon hearing the strategy of Taiping Dao, surprisingly made some coordination.

After communicating with Lu Yuan and receiving an affirmative response from his end,

Jiuzhou Immortal Gate also mobilized a force led by Huang Yuanxiu to attack Tianmen Country,

Planning to attack the Tianmen River defense line from the west and coordinate with Taiping Dao.

In an instant, armies from three sides gathered at Tianmen River, and the Northern Expedition war ignited its first battle there.

However, regarding this battlefield’s situation, Lu Yuan, after delegating the main forces, let the two avatars act on their own without paying much attention.

His focus, unlike what outsiders speculated, was not primarily on converging with Jiuzhou.

Contrary to what others thought, the current battlefield in the Eastern Territory was his main target.

…

Leshan Country.

As Qing Guanzi’s army moved, Lu Yuan’s side certainly did not remain idle.

He had dispatched all five of his Taiping Dao Human Immortals, each commanding two thousand cultivators, and then let them lead these disciples to the front line, waiting for opportunities to attack the Qing Immortal Sect’s defenses.

Undoubtedly, such an arrangement naturally allowed his subordinates to slack off.

Without upper-level supervision, it was difficult for those below to sincerely launch attacks.

The opposing defensive line was not easy to break.

An Earth Immortal formation in each nation, defended by a Human Immortal and two thousand cultivators.

Though there were no Earth Immortals, even so, such combat power wasn’t something ordinary people could tackle easily.

Lu Yuan not taking action himself and letting Human Immortals lead disciples in attack meant they could fight for a hundred years and probably still not break through the enemy’s defense.

Clearly,

This move was interpreted as deliberately holding back by others, as Taiping Dao intentionally preserving strength to avoid exhausting their core forces.

Therefore, facing the attacking disciples of Taiping Dao, the disciples of Qing Immortal Sect also did not go all out.

Both sides cooperated, engaging in fierce battles that would cause mountains to collapse and heaven and earth to lose color.

But upon closer inspection, there were not many casualties.

Even though it was a major battle involving thousands of cultivators, only about ten to a few dozen died each day, which was minimal casualties.

Compared to the last battle Qing Immortal Sect had with Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, where the attackers would lose hundreds each time they penetrated deep into enemy lines,

Sometimes, even Human Immortals would fall.

Compared to that, the battle in Leshan Country was like child’s play.

It indeed was child’s play.

Just looking at the commanders of the five forces Lu Yuan assigned this time would tell.

Not to mention Yang Xiuan whose roots lay in Jiuzhou.

But Yu Shipei and the other three Human Immortals, except for one who was a direct disciple cultivated by Taiping Dao, the rest all had backgrounds connected to Qing.

These people all had murky relations with Qing Immortal Sect, and it could even be established that they were spies planted by Qing Immortal Sect within Taiping Dao, with highly questionable identities.

With three such individuals placed in commanding roles in the five forces, if they were to fight fiercely, that would be surprising.

The defending generals of Qing Immortal Sect, clearly aware of this,

Facing their own planted spies, obviously held back, and both sides cooperated, idly going through the motions.

This was also quite normal.

War meant death, especially a war between cultivators, where poor control could lead to the complete destruction of one’s divine soul, a fate worse than death.

With such high risk and low reward, any sane person would dislike it.

Moreover, with this conduct, the higher-ups of both sects, be it Zhang Xiuzhu of Qing Immortal Sect or Lu Yuan of Taiping Dao, neither imposed any penalties.

Both also tacitly chose to turn a blind eye.

Thus, there was no penalty for slacking off.

The cultivators on the front line openly and unapologetically slacked off without any concerns.

Overall, with the tacit cooperation of both sides, the entire Eastern Territory battle zone became a performative joke in the eyes of outsiders.

Regarding this, Jiuzhou was extremely dissatisfied, having sent several communiqués asking this side to hasten the attack speed.

During this time,

Jiuzhou’s advancement speed in the northern front of the Western Domain was not looking good.

Although Jiuzhou gathered a large number of troops and possessed strong strength, being comparable to Qing Immortal Sect and ranking second in similar grand battles, it could almost be said they had given it their all.
